Some friends of ours booked last minute or found a late cancellation(not quite sure of the details) and are renting a villa or a condo, I think near La Samanna hotel, again not sure, as didn't go into it, but just emailed me from the UK asking where they would stay for one or two nights as they cant get in to this place as its booked and arriving the day or a few days before as coming from Antigua. Not something I have ever done apart from a few days in GC many years ago and think that area is too far away for them. Know that they usually go for more upmarket accommodation but have never looked at hotels myself just for one night. Since I have been banging on about SXM to them for years, thought I could tap in here for far more knowledgeable travelers than myself regarding suitable hotels.

Appreciate some guidance therefore to offer them. They are due to arrive in early middle of October I believe.

Thx. Bran.
